Iggy LDN
director
Iggy (also known as Iggy LDN) is a British artist, filmmaker and photographer. He broke into film in 2016, with his short Black Boys Don’t Cry. He is known for creating powerful and artistic films that tell stories about the current socio-political landscape and that are both beautiful and tragic. A mixture between surrealism, cinema and art, Iggy’s recent short film, Velvet, presents a visual story that touches upon adolescence, crime, and motherhood, all centred through the artist medium of dance.
